hey all,
my odometer is not working, and neither is the trip meter.. i have replaced the cluster with another one and have connected all the wires up properly, however i didnt check if all the wires were ok, as i thought that it would be the cluster? what could it be that is making this not work? what do i need to fix it and where can i get it from? thanks

This may sound like a silly question but have you checked the globes?

If your speedo is working fine then it is the cluster that is the problem.. If wiring was a problem then the speedo wouldnt work either.
The problem is that a gear inside odometer breaks. |

The gear can be replaced... a bit fiddly to do. I just found a cluster at the wreckers that had a good gear and got that... I think you can buy new ones now though, it's a fairly common problem.
